National Indigenous Peoples Day is a momentous occasion to honour and recognize the rich history, vibrant cultures, and significant contributions of Indigenous Peoples throughout Canada. This day provides an invaluable opportunity to reflect upon the resilience, wisdom, inclusivity, and diversity of Indigenous communities. It is a day to celebrate the triumphs, acknowledge the challenges, and come together in solidarity.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, it is essential to recognize the profound role of First Nations education administrators and educators. First Nations control of First Nations education empowers communities/nations to develop curriculum that reflects their unique histories, knowledge systems, and values. It enables the revitalization of First Nations languages and the transmission of ancestral wisdom to future generations.

You can take part on this special day by participating in local events, workshops, and celebrations that honour First Nations and Indigenous heritage. Celebrate the resilience, diversity, Inclusivity, and achievements of Indigenous Peoples, not just today but every day.

Have a joyous and meaningful National Indigenous Peoples Day filled with love and positive interaction. May it serve as a reminder of the strength, beauty, and significance of Indigenous cultures worldwide.
